My Collection (Rather Embarrassing)

[RamboFett]

Hi guys im new to the forum and thought I best contribute, I have been collecting Loose Completes since November last year. My main aim is to collect all the Bounty Hunters but beside that I am just buying what my eyes like lol Take it easy on me guys I am new to all this and my little collection is laughable in comparison to 99.99% of you all on here.

So here we go would be nice to hear what you all think?

Thanks poncho will be ordering some soon especially for the Death Star Droid with its super loose legs and the IG-88 is a right bugger to get into position

My advice on a loose collection is take your time dont rush and buy all at once enjoy it and hunt for bargains

 

[slim]

sound advice there buddy , another thing is check the weapons that you get with the figures as there are a ton of repro weapons out there , a great place to check is here

Its a start & thats all you need to get sucked in to the collecting bug, as for you IG88, easy fix for you, fill a cup with boiling water, dip his legs in up to the hips, they then go flexible, then hold in position & run under a cold tap, hey presto you'll have a straight legged iggy :wink:

Wish it were so simple a fix for the DSD, but a little tip that will help is wrap some cotton thread round the joints & trip, will make his joints tighten up but not a permanent fix like the iggy.

Wow thanks Frunkstar brilliant tips there appreciate all the help and advice you guys are giving me seriously this forum is awesome lol

 

[Frunkstar]

Welcome mate, that's what were here for!, its Frank BTW

Before you know it you'll be handing on what you have learned to the newbies & making them welcomed, good luck with your loose run, just wait till you get your teeth in to MOC's if your wallet is feeling the loose run pinch.

 

[RamboFett]

ohhhh dont be saying that Frank been drooling over some of the MOC on here lol also amazed by the trade scene on here aswel really is a quality forum

 

[Michael Sith]

Great start mate , you will get plenty of advice on here buddy and you can source new figures for your collection on the FS thread.
You will know you are getting bona fide SW vintage.
Good luck with managing your obsession
